The two cats in the yard might be bobcats strolling by! (It's a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song for those of you who are too young to know!)

This 900 SF casita was custom built in 2010 on a one-acre lot. The casita is attached to the main house by an open courtyard, a high tower foyer, and covered patio. Come enjoy this beautiful one bedroom guest home located in the scenic Northeast Tucson area. You will have your own direct access to the casita, private patioand your own heating and A/C controls.

The spacious living room/kitchen has exposed beams, granite counter tops, an upgraded 55” 4K television and SW design details evident in the numerous arches and fully tiled floors. A full dresser and closet complete the bedroom. Bathroom has custom tiled shower, and full-size washer and dryer. 9' ceilings, and mountain views throughout the property. The beautiful courtyard and your own covered patio with a Weber gas grill lie just off the living room door. Privacy walls surround our entire 1-acre lot. Five outside sitting areas allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful, sunny, Tucson weather, cozy up around the fire pit, or sit peacefully under the mesquite trees overlooking a meadow.

It's a short 1.3 mile walk or drive to parking for the Bear Canyon entrance to Sabino Park where you have access to iconic hikes such as Seven Falls, Blackett's Ridge, Phoneline trail and many others.

We are 4 miles from the base of Mt. Lemmon with stunning views (Windy Point), numerous hiking trails and restaurants.

You can bicycle right out the door or ride 4 miles to the Tucson bike loop path which offers 100+ miles of paved pathways.

The casita is in a quiet, peaceful setting and yet close to several great restaurants (Tucson is a foodie's delight), grocery stores, and 25 minutes from downtown.

Our casita is well-maintained (Dave is a retired contractor and keeps up with repairs), clean, freshly painted, with updated appliances, dinnerware, cookware and linens. We know what we would like when we stay at a vacation rental, so try to provide the best experience for our guests.

There is much to do and explore in Tucson and our casita will be a tranquil setting for your home base.

    Lovely place in a desert setting but easy to get to shopping & hiking. Garden is just right, so many places to sit and a different outlook from all angles. Would stay here everytime we go to Tucson. Please do not change anything it is perfect.

    This was an exceptional property. It was comfortable, well-appointed, and welcoming. Everything we needed for our stay was provided. The outdoor area was absolutely lovely. We enjoyed sitting on the patio every morning and watching the birds. 10/10. Would recommend this property to anyone staying in the Tanque Verde area of Tucson.

    If the host had not completely insulted us with her assessment of our situation, the stay would have been lovely. My partner had to spend an evening in the ER so we asked for a few extra hours to check out. After saying that it was okay, Ro became irritated with us for relaxing when we could have checked out at 10:00. We had asked for the extra time specifically so that we could relax and that is what we did. Unfortunately, our host judged how we were spending our time and snapped at me, in front of our family that had stopped in to check on the patient, and really put a bad feeling on the end of our trip. Other than that, the spot was lovely.

    We were so delighted and impressed when we drove up to the casita by the landscaping and beautiful yard. Even more so when we opened the door. The colors an design of the interior were gorgeous and everything was so meticulously clean. We would highly recommend staying in Dave and RoseMarie’s casita. They were very helpful with recommendations and advice. Do not hesitate to stay here!

    The casita and grounds were impeccable! We had everything we needed. The yard was beautifully maintained and we enjoyed spending time outside just as much as we did exploring the surrounding area. The views were incredible and the proximity to the mountains was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. Thank you Dave and Ro!

    Our stay was wonderful. Amazing birds in the back yard visited us throughout the day, including woodpeckers, verdin, and quail. The property is well laid out with veranda and pergola sitting areas, and swings that overlook various parts of the property including the neighbor's horse pasture. We walked the nearby trail to the hillside loop.There are plenty of really good local eateries, and there are many family activities within an hour or two including National Parks, historic mines (Bisby a must see), and mountain trails and parks that are 30 degrees cooler than the desert. Dave gave us really good suggestions for things to see and do, and we loved our time there.

    Growing up in Tucson, I return almost every year. This unique property was absolutely the best. The location was wonderful…away from the congestion of the city yet close to shopping. The property was adjacent to a rural area where horses grazed and a stream flowed. The house was more than just a “very fine house”. It was tastefully decorated, super clean and comfortable. The property was large and perfectly landscaped with a desert motif. There were several seating areas and a roof deck to enjoy the Mountain View and starry nights! The lap pool and spa were refreshing and sparking clean. Ro and Dave were super gracious hosts and have put their heart and soul into their oasis. I definitely recommend and plan to return!

    Everything about the casita was perfect. In fact, we thought it was even better in person than in pictures. The casita has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. We loved being able to cook and relax in the evening. The bed was so comfortable. The back yard was lovely, and next time we’ll take advantage of the outdoor seating and hot tub. Every detail is thoughtful and beautifully made. I think we found our new go to “spot” in Tucson.

    The host was welcoming and happy to share suggestions for regional activities. A comprehensive notebook of instructions for the immaculate Casita was prominently displayed along with lists for restaurant suggestions. Regional maps and brochures were provided. Guests have access to a well-designed desert garden on the property for relaxation amid dappled shade of native vegetation.The Casita is well located in a quiet residential community with views of near-by mountains and proximate to areas affording hiking and sightseeing opportunities. We enjoyed a drive up Mt. Lemmon to ponderosa pine forests as well as several visits to Saguaro National Park east section for desert walking and, especially, for spectacular sunsets. Not far away is Sabino Canyon, a popular local hiking destination.We would happily return again.

    A beautiful place inside and out. The furniture was very nice and comfortable, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cooking items. The yard was beautifully decorated with 3 different sitting areas. When not hiking, we spent much of our time at the house sitting outside. Located in a quiet neighborhood on the edge of Tucson the casita was convenient to Sabino Canyon, the eastern section of Saguaro National Park and Mount Lemmon.

    The casita was one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. The furnishings are nice, tasteful and comfortable. Everything was provided we could wish for - paper towels, shampoo, coffee filters to name a few items that are often bring-your-own. The owners are next door but we literally only saw them once as he refilled the bird feeders out back. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub but they looked nice. Location is convenient to shopping and restaurants.
